I'd post my scores but (a) you already played my game and (b) I don't want to embarrass myself... Silver on 1 and 3 so far, I feel like this one will stick with me. It's got that classic, "just one more try" feel. It takes a second to get used to but the feel is pretty solid and I suspect I'll play it some more after I get an evening of sleep. Great work, esp. for only using half the time!
This was really satisfying to play! Nice job with SFX and music. I didn't realize at first that right click was how to use items until I brought up the controls menu, so I struggled until I figured that out on the second level. I also had to lower the sensitivity as much as possible, I just don't have the precise movement ability of the default setting, haha. I'm really happy you added those settings. Really well done!
@pres2300 haha, I had plans to have in-level signposts etc. as tutorials but those (among many others!) ended up being cut due to time constraints. Thanks for playing!
Fun game. The core idea—shooting or touching the spheres to score—is easy to understand but hard to master, which makes it really engaging. The music and sound effects are intense and really pump up the excitement! One small note: the default mouse sensitivity feels a bit too high, but once you adjust it, the game becomes even more enjoyable. Well done!
Quite nice for the little time given. I find the controls to be too sensitive for my taste. I keep running off the ledges, or overturning. The floating jump "ramp" in the 2nd stage is really nasty :)
My scores kept turning out negative ;)
Good job there!
@endurion There are controls to adjust the mouse sensitivity - might be able to fix some of your issues with that. Thanks for playing the game!
Very enjoyable 3D platformer! I kept replaying to get better and better scores, couldn't beat you though haha.
(The medals didn't render for me correctly, probably because I was playing on Linux with Wine)

@theoratkin The medals use unicode emojis (🥇 etc.) as a lazy way to avoid doing extra art - not sure how Wine usually handles those but poorly I suppose. Thanks for playing!
Interesting idea to tie in a speedrunning game with what felt like really good crosshair practice for games like Valorant / CS. I could feel the pull to make a faster run every time, you found the fun, well done!
I'm probably too tired after the compo to maneuver through air-jumps :sweat_smile: Did gain over 3000 points in the first level, though! Nicely done entry, I liked it.

Don't laugh ! It is hard ! Yes I did try several times !
Cool game, had fun dashing around collecting the spheres.
- The initial mouse sensitivity was very high for me, but got it down to a nicer level - Sometimes when shooting at things far away it was difficult to see when I missed since the crosshair was obstructing vision, maybe the crosshair could be somewhat transparent.

After trying a ton of times, I managed to find a strat to get gold in level 2 (very shooting-heavy instead of trying to collect spheres manually, plus using the different floor types), but level 3 still has me beat gold-wise, heh. I think I could optimize by just rushing, dashing forward over the two huge chasms and shooting while in the air, but I'm not good enough to pull it off, I always have to do it after landing, costing me precious points.

Had a lot of fun playing this game! It has a nice gameplay loop that pulls you into trying again and again to reach a better score. The levels have a good length, where it feels just right to try them again and again, I thought they were all well-designed and had unique interesting concepts to them. Liked the levels a lot, two is probably my favorite, trying different ways to get through and figuring out which routes work and which don't. Powerups were a nice touch as well, they added some cool variety to it. I also want to note that adding adjusting the mouse precision was such a cool addition, it was super nice, thanks a lot for taking the time to add it! That way I could make it feel just right for me, super neat. Great game, very well done!
very cool visual. the sensitivity is really great. and the sounds are incredibly pleasant
hah, is this neon white reference? :) Score.png
The mouse sensitivity is straight from hell =) But overall, it’s fun to play. Though judging by my results, I’m clearly not very good at this genre.

@avhatar There are in-game controls to adjust the mouse sensitivity. Thanks for playing!
Fun game overall, the scores makes us want to play again. I feel it would have benefited from having a bit more levels exploring the dash/jump combination. Fourth level was the easiest for me, just run and shoot at everything. Like others the sensitivity was super high when starting the game (making it impossible to play) so it's a good thing we can lower it :thumbsup:
Interesting level design and the game fits the theme perfectly. Would be better if graphics could be improved.
Interesting level design!
I liked the level design. Good game.
That was fun! The second level took some practice to nail all the jumps, but I managed :) qqq.PNG
I usually loathe FPSes but had fun with this, especially stage 2 which was a solid puzzle. Love the pacing and the arcadiness. My only suggestion is, the timer should start with the first input, not immediately after restart.

maybe it was just me, but the mouse controls were way too sensitive, it took a lot to get used to it. I would decrease the sensitivity a bit!
Cool ideas/courses though!
@matt-swieboda There are in game controls to adjust the sensitivity to your liking, give them a go if you find the chance! Thanks for playing!
ahhh, didn't realize that, thank you!
@alaah wow, thanks for uploading a video - very useful to watch someone interact with the game without my direct input. Glad you liked the game and thanks for the feedback!
Haha, reminds me of those roblox games my baby brother plays! I like it
Love the deceivingly simple gameplay. There's so much strategy involved, like deciding when to shoot certain spheres or planning the perfect route. Super solid entry.Schermafbeelding 2025-10-09 221008.png
Probably echoing a lot of the comments above, but SO sensitive! Could barely play it! :D But a fun idea and well executed.
@designernap Hope you found the sensitivity controls. Thanks for playing!
Had a lot of fun with your game I just wished the item mechanic would had been more exploited but it was very cool overall , and showed me how my aim suck ahahaha
The mechanics were fun to figure out, especially the first level. At first I was trying to hop back and forth between the two platforms, and it was a neat moment when I realized I could strafe along the blue platform sideways while shooting the targets on the other platform.
Not a sharpshooter by any means, but I'm happy with the scores I got:

I like that you can shoot the orbs to pickup their power. Got me thinking if theres some better pathing to get an even better score! Combining them felt really powerful. Though the controls are a bit floaty, so its hard to execute on a new idea for a path. I did like your simple controls overlay and settings hotkeys. That seems like a no brainer way of doing it, I had never thought about.

This could have been a very relaxing game if it weren't for the intense music. Combined with the constant falling and such, it made my butt burn, hahaha)) But I really enjoyed it, keep it up! Add some polishing and diversify the atmosphere of the levels, and make the music better, and it'll be awesome!
